Digerati - 2015

Now in its third year, The Drum Digerati is an annual celebration of the 100 most influential people across the breadth of the UK’s digital marketing industries.

This year, we called on our readers to nominate those they most admired in the industry. The nominations were then put to a panel of independent digital experts – drawn from the pool of Dadi Awards judges – to curate and rank the shortlist.

In tandem with The Drum’s Dadi Awards, which reward digital excellence, the Digerati represents our commitment to recognising the businesses, work and people excelling in modern marketing.
